Who’s Who? Artist Talk and Reception UMASS Lowell 3/21/2017

LOWELL, Mass. – The UMASS Lowell Department of Art & Design is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Russ Pope. “Who’s Who?” will be open from March 21 – April 15, 2017. Pope will present a lecture to the public on Tues., March 21 at 3:30 p.m. in the O’Leary Library, rm. 222 on South Campus. The reception will follow afterwards from 5-7 p.m. in the University Gallery in Mahoney Hall, a short walk from the library. These events are free, wheelchair accessible, and open to the public.

A native Californian transplanted to New England, Russ Pope is a keen observer of the social and political environment around him; finding inspiration in the quotidian cup of coffee and drawing on his early immersion in skateboard culture. His work circumscribes “a Who’s Who of global interactions with other humans” with wry wit and gentle humour. Pope has shown his work both nationally and internationally throughout the United States, Italy and Canada.

The University Gallery is accessible to all. Gallery events are free and open to the

public. Parking is available in the Wilder Metered Lot, located at the intersection of

Wilder Street and Bachelder Street. The entrance to the lot is located on Bachelder

Street. After 4 p.m. visitors may park in any open campus lot.
